A Collaborative Effort Bringing Energy Efficiency and Comfort to a Triplex
The Context: An Efficient Solution for a Shared Space
At AirGreen, we pride ourselves on delivering tailored HVAC solutions that align perfectly with the unique needs of our clients. This recent installation in Outremont, Montreal, is a shining example of how we can transform a residential triplex into a haven of comfort, efficiency, and modernity. The project involved installing three Gree Multi GEN2 Double-Zone Heat Pumps, one for each apartment within a shared triplex, offering unparalleled heating and cooling to three delighted neighbors.
The building’s shared rooftop served as the perfect location for this installation, housing three 24,000 BTU outdoor compressors and six indoor units (two per apartment). Our team worked meticulously to ensure seamless integration of the heat pumps while maintaining the aesthetic and structural integrity of the building. Each homeowner not only benefited from a system tailored to their apartment’s layout but also enjoyed a generous group discount—a testament to our commitment to cost-effective solutions.
Why the Gree Multi GEN2 Was the Perfect Choice
The Gree Multi GEN2 Heat Pump is renowned for its exceptional performance and energy efficiency. Here’s what makes it an ideal fit for this project:
- Dual-Zone Capability: Each system supports up to two indoor units, perfectly catering to the varied cooling and heating needs of the triplex’s apartments.
- Powerful and Quiet Operation: Despite their compact size, the outdoor compressors operate at a whisper-quiet level of 58 dB(A), ensuring peace and tranquility for all residents.
- Unmatched Efficiency: With a SEER rating of 22.0, these heat pumps are designed to drastically reduce energy consumption, keeping utility bills low while maintaining optimal indoor comfort.
- Robust Heating Capacity: These systems operate efficiently in extreme conditions, offering reliable heating even at temperatures as low as -30°C.
- WiFi Compatibility: All indoor units come equipped with WiFi functionality, allowing residents to control their comfort settings remotely with ease.
The Installation Process: A Harmonious Collaboration
Installing three separate systems on the same triplex was no small feat. However, our team thrives on challenges, and this project allowed us to showcase our expertise in multi-unit installations.
Step 1: Strategic Planning and Layout
We began by conducting a thorough site inspection to determine the optimal placement for the outdoor compressors and indoor units. The shared rooftop was chosen for its accessibility and ability to accommodate all three systems without compromising aesthetics or performance.
Step 2: Precision Installation of Outdoor Units
The three 24,000 BTU compressors were carefully mounted on custom-built stands, designed to ensure stability and protection from environmental factors. Each compressor was positioned to maximize airflow and minimize noise transmission to the apartments below.
Step 3: Customized Indoor Solutions
Each apartment received two indoor units, strategically placed to deliver even heating and cooling throughout the space. These 12,000 BTU units were installed with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring seamless integration with the existing décor.
Step 4: Insulated Piping and Electrical Connections
To ensure optimal performance and longevity, we used high-quality insulated piping and robust electrical connections. The connections were carefully routed to maintain the building’s aesthetic appeal, and all penetrations were sealed with precision to prevent heat loss or air infiltration.
Step 5: Testing and Customer Orientation
After completing the installation, our team performed rigorous testing to ensure the systems were functioning flawlessly. We also provided the homeowners with a comprehensive walkthrough, demonstrating how to use the WiFi-enabled controls and maintain their new heat pumps.
Eco-Friendly and Cost-Effective: A Win-Win for Everyone
One of the most exciting aspects of this project was the eligibility of the Gree Multi GEN2 heat pumps for the LogisVert Grant by Hydro-Québec. Each system qualified for a substantial $2,832 subsidy, significantly offsetting the installation cost for the homeowners. This, combined with the group discount we offered, made this project not only environmentally responsible but also financially savvy.
Customer Feedback: Thrilled Neighbors, Happy Clients
The homeowners were ecstatic with the results. Here’s what one of them had to say:
"We were initially unsure about the logistics of installing three separate systems, but AirGreen made the process so easy. The group discount was a huge bonus, and we love how quiet and efficient the heat pumps are. It’s been a game-changer for our building!"
This project reinforced our belief in the power of collaboration. By working closely with the residents, we were able to deliver a solution that exceeded their expectations in every way.
